Three design students from the National Taiwan University of Arts, in New Taipei City, have drawn international attention to water contamination for their graduation project: Polluted Water Popsicles. Hung Yi-Chen, Guo Yi-hui and Cheng Yu-Ti – in their fourth and final year of a visual communications qualification – sourced water from 100 different lakes, rivers, beaches and ports in Taiwan, and turned it into a range of colourful, contaminated ice blocks.

Adapt (short for Adaptive Capacity) consists of a team of volunteers and all artists and designers who will feature in the Sadness is a no gO-Zone exhibition have donated their time for free, responding to a collaborative brief using Adapt's existing language.

The tongue-in-cheek slogans given in the design brief included phrases such as ‘Feeling Hot Hot Hot’, ‘Solar, So Good’, ‘Shall We Clear The Air?’ and more which has resulted in more than 50 creative interpretations in the form of graphic design and illustration.

We (Adapt) put on an environmental exhibition like no other! With ever-more pressing news about climate change hitting our headlines on a daily basis, and a surge of inspiring action taking the country by storm, we invited people to learn about, and act on global warming through our huge specially designed space. 'Sadness is a no gO-zone' featured our work (Adapt) and 50 specially selected artists. Visitors came to the gallery to tackle the biggest issues facing the planet, from energy to travel to wilding through curated actions. At the exhibition we partnered with Ecosia to launch a challenge to plant 5000 trees, download Ecosia through our special link to join the challenge.

The exhibition focused on happiness and motivation, there were laughs, engaging visual art and some audience participation, alongside a program of events and a fundraising shop. Follow us on instagram to keep in the loop with future events.
